Tip No.7: 

How to Make Recruiters (and Hiring Managers) Come to You
 
Over 17 years in recruitment, I’ve seen a similar pattern, the candidates who get approached aren’t always the most qualified, but they are the most visible. Here’s how to get on the radar of the right people:
 
1. Build a strong personal brand
Your LinkedIn profile is your shop window - make sure it’s open for business!
Use a professional photo, a headline that says more than just your job title, and an “About” section that actually tells your story.
Keep your experience clear, achievement-focused, and keyword-rich so you’re easy to find in searches.

2. Engage with the right people and content
Comment on posts in your industry not with “great post” but with thoughtful takes.
Follow companies and leaders you admire.
Congratulate people on moves, promotions, and wins — it keeps you front-of-mind.
When you see a company posting a role you’re interested in, connect with the hiring manager or recruiter and send a short, polite note — it shows initiative and helps you stand out instantly.

3. Share value, not just updates
Post your own insights, even if short and simple.
Share industry news with a quick opinion attached.
Talk about your wins, challenges, and lessons learned — people connect with authenticity.

4. Be part of the community
Join relevant LinkedIn Groups.
Attend webinars, networking events, or industry meetups (online and in-person).
Follow up with people you meet - the quiet follow-through is where the magic happens.

5. Make it easy to contact you
Keep your email and phone number visible on your profile.
Respond quickly to messages - momentum matters.
 
The truth is, you don’t need to apply for 100 jobs if you make yourself findable, visible, and memorable. The right opportunities will start coming your way.
